Michaella Russell Poems

'SUICIDE, THE EASE OF DEATH. THAT IS WHAT I LONG FOR, THE EASE OF DEATH. MAYBE ONE DAY I WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE TO BLADE AND CUT MY WRISTS. ALL I CAN DO NOW IS PUT IT ON THERE AND HOPE THAT I AM STRONG ENOUGH. I KNOW THAT I AM NOT BUT I WILL BE SOON. I KNOW IT BECAUSE I CAN FELL IT.'

What do you say?

Is there anything that you can do or say to help her through this rough time in her life?

as i sit back
and watch you go through your day
i want to confort you
yet dont know what to say
